..."I am not sure the country is seeking a state of grace but we are surely seeking something of a much higher order than we are getting. Congress adjourns, the President spends twenty million dollars of our money flying off to vacation in Hawaii and we peer over the edge of a monetary cliff of our own making because we have elected people that have all of the leadership skills of some Grinch that is stealing our Christmas because we let him.
..."Ultimately it is us you know, “We the People,” and perhaps it is our two party system of government that has failed us because we put people in power who know how to run for election and re-election but who somehow have no idea how to govern the nation. It is pathos, absurdity and frankly a tragedy that we face a financial calamity, and it is just that, and our elected leaders head off on vacation."
...."The awful truth is that WE are responsible. We elected these people. We condone a two party system where we end up with a choice between the mediocre and the inferior. We are left to choose between the fool and the idiot and the men of character, the people of intellect and those focused on the health of the nation are left behind either because they will not participate or because they cannot survive the taunts and tricks of those that have no other interest besides their own ego and their own self-interests. I make no apologies."
..... "This is our fault and until and unless WE start demanding a government that represents our interests and values and morals that sets-aside America from other nations; we have no one to blame but ourselves. That is the sad truth of it which is why going off our present fiscal cliff may be the best thing that could happen to the United States. We might just wake up!"

Call it Crazy says
As I have said on this forum before, they give us the choice between tweedle dee and tweedle dum while the real power hides behind the curtain.
If there were a real, popular candidate that could not be bought or disgraced they would be killed.
Just a thought from the cynical party.

I just woke up today and realized I don't have to work today. Yes. What a feeling. To think of it, my unemployment has run out. I'd better look for a job soon before I starve. But thinking about it again, why be someone else's bitch when you can make more money working for yourself? You work less hours, enjoy what you do, and make more money.
OMG, I sound like a whore, or am I? But whatever, I still enjoy what I do, work less hour, get the exercise, and still make more money than being an engineer. Life is good. ;)
Merry Christmas to y'all
